Too Much Eating and rinking.

An old and retired banker in New York
said 10 me lately that he had Just come
from Carlsbad, where he went To have
the gout treated. Said |:
"Is that place really influential upon
the gout''
II you would 90 to any spot in the
United States where the air was good.
and submit to the same diet and exercise.
you would get well just as quick. This
Americans 60 to Carlsbad and stay two
mouths working for health; and then
they go TO Paris, and in two weeks, upon
. good champagne spree, destroy all the
benefits they have received.
The same is the case even at Saratoga
and our health resorts. The waters are
unauestionably beneficial at that spot if
taken with some regard TO diet; but the
Saratoga hotels are all organized upon the
theory of feeding the system 10 the fullest.
The bar rooms there for the men to re
pair to are big enough for a regiment 10
enter The dining rooms are prepared
for 900 to eat at once. Spring chicken
from Syracuse, birds from the Adron-
dacks, frogs from Canada pamper up the
system, and wine is almost necessary TO
wash them down; SO the waters one goes
to drink have but a partial effect. What
good is done IN the morning at O'Clock is
neutralized at 10 O'Clock breakfast. After
that the horse race and its incidental dis
sipatiOn, the afternoon ride and the big
supper at the lake and an evening given
up to cards OF billiards or drink, carry the
invalid faster toward his grave than back
from it-Herald of Health.

How to Sign . Note.

Not long since a prominent woman in
good society undertook to instruct the
public not so well informed as herself how
to write note Her hints to letter writers
appeared in New York newspaper, and
will undoubtedly prove of benefit to many
Of its readers. All she said on this topic
WAS perfectly correct, from ''the abomi-
nation of scented stationery and the OBJ
jectionable ragged edge note paper with
colored inks, to the formula required in
all notes of invitation. The article, which
also punctured some Of the affectatiOns OF
young letter writer, was signed Mrs.
Burton n. Harrison" The nse of the
prefix Mrs" in this connection is q
breach ot literary etiquette which the
writer commits in common with Mrs. John
Sherwood, who certainly knows better
than to do 50. Both these ladies have pre-
sented their society views in print a.
models to he followed by less well bred
people, yet both are guilty of bad form in
signing themselves Mrs" No lady ever
writes note and signs it by her married
title She is neither Miss nor Mrs. a,
such times, and even should she l'e writ
ing to an inferior. or 10 stranger, tht
rule is the same. To avoid any mistake
of address. notes Of this description musi
be written in the third person. With 8

manded to back seat by anybody, young
or old, inside or outside of the state. The

forced upon the party by faction. and the
time has come TO settle il Neither Sher-
man nor his friends have forced il. The
professed friends of Blaine are, in opposing
the Endorsement of Sherman. doing what
Blaine would not advise and what he can
not afford. Let it be understood, therefore.
that this opposition TO John Sherman in
Ohio is not in favor of Blaine. Ii is some
thing more and something outside Of that,
and il has a deeper and more far-reaching
meaning. The republicans cannot afford TO
ignore Sherman at Toledo. They must
either indorse him or refuse 10 do so, and
take the consequences. The friends of
Sherman are ready to meet the issue, and
